| Post subject: | Nuts and bolts |
In the process of belts, seals, etc. Want to replace corroded nuts and bolts here and there to tidy things up as I go, but is there any spec??? Most of the ones I want to replace are for brackets and fittings. Can I just replace with stainless? |

as long as they meet or exceed 8.8 specs, there are a few 12.1 around as well |

Like these? http://www.westfieldfasteners.co.uk/A2_ ... Rfull.html But is it ok to go for A2 stainless instead? |

I used A2 stainless bolts for the water pump to prevent corrosion issues down the line so personally I think it's a good idea. For the tensioner studs etc I'd stick to OE fasteners though. |

I was thinking of using them more for the various brackets and other not important stuff just to tidy up a bit. Plan to keep anything remotely important OE. Think I'm going for the A2. |

A4 is better, in very exposed area |
